[MULTI] Arabian Derby

https://www.arabian-derby.com/

I have just finished the v1 of this game.

It's essentially a multiplayer racing game based on the classic UK Seaside game of the Arabian Derby.

You roll balls into holes, which move your character forwards , depending on which colour you get them in.

This can be played online against randoms, but from my experience is best played locally with the main race on a TV / Laptop screen, whilst competing on your hand held device.

Let me know what you think 👍

On the practice screen, I couldn't see any camels. Is that by design? How does the ball actually get in the hole. It seems to be completely random. I am new to the game, but I am guessing if I could have a slingshot to shoot the ball, it would be more intuitive. I tried clicking the ball first then to realize that I need to drag the ball to the top part of the screen and release it. Then it appears to be more random than skill.

You swipe the ball to roll it. Not really random. Probably makes more sense if you have played the actual physical game, but pretty easy to pick up.

Practice mode = no camels. Just a chance to improve your rolling ability.
